last year i signed into law 1.7 trillion dollars in deficit reduction. tonight's agreement raises $620 billion in revenue from the wealthiest households in america, and there will be more deficit reduction as congress decides what to do about automatic spending cuts we have delayed two months. i want to make this point. i am very open to compromise. i agree with democrats and republicans that the aging population and rising cost of health care makes medicare the biggest contributor to our deficit. i believe we have got to find ways to reform the program without hurting seniors who count on us to survive. i believe there is further unnecessary spending in government we can eliminate, but we cannot simply cut our way to prosperity. cutting spending has to go hand in hand with further reforms to our tax code so the wealthiest corporations and individuals cannot take advantage of loopholes and deductions that are not available to most americans, and we cannot keep cutting things like basic research and new technology and still expect to succeed in the 21st c
